The IR spectrum of a compound with molecular formula is shown below. Identify the compound.

Why is the C-O absorption band of 1-hexanol at a smaller wavenumber (1060 cm-1) than the C=O absorption band of pentanoic acid (1220 cm-1)?
A solution of a compound in hexane shows an absorbance of 0.40 at 252 nm in a cell with a 1 cm light path. What is the molar absorptivity of the compound in hexane at 252 nm?
Question:Rank the following compounds from highest wavenumber to lowest wavenumber for their C=O absorption bands:
a.

b.

The IR spectrum of compound A with a molecular formula of C5H12O is shown below. Compound Ais oxidized to give compound B, a ketone with a
Molecular formula of C5H10O. When compound Ais heated with H2SO4, compounds Cand Dare obtained. Considerably more Dis obtained than C.
